Summer is ruined. My name is Ri. I’m the kind of delinquent teenage girl you hear horror stories about. My parents thought they could reform my “bad attitude” and get me away from my “troublemaking friends” by shipping me off to my grandparents’ to work in their stupid rose garden for the summer. That’s where I met Avery, the blind boy. It’s the perfect setting for some kind of sappy romance novel, right? Wrong. I guess Avery’s cute enough, but he drives me crazy. He pretends to be this perfect angel, but I’ve seen him sneaking out into the town’s “forbidden forest.” I’m the only one who knows. Avery has secrets, and I want in on them.

When it was published in book form on 1890, the volume included Besant's preface explaining the circumstances of the collaboration.Collins had started writing the novel in 1887, when newspapers were full of stories about Fenian violence in the wake of the previous year's defeat of the First Irish Home Rule Bill. Collins frequented Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese off London's Fleet Street and borrowed some traits for his male protagonist from John O'Connor Power who was also well known in the convivial tavern. Collins links the Irish Question to the Woman Question. The novel recounts the story of Lord Harry Norland, a member of a squad of political assassins; the book's heroine is Iris Henley, a bold and nonconformist Englishwoman who falls in love with the Irish Norland despite his criminal activities (the "blind love" of the title). The title was originally to have been Lord Harry, the colloquial name for the devil.
